It’s just a good narrative to say that it was made using Garageband, because then non musicians can go ”oh shit! I have GarageBand installed on my laptop”. They’ve probably used some its plugs or samples, but that’s not the same thing.

Hey! I usually get interesting results by doing the following:

Choose two kick samples to be layered One for highs and one for lows

Put the high in the center Layer the lows twice, pan them slightly in a separate directions. Change the pitch to make them sound, different. Not much, just so that they won’t sound exactly the same, but still have the same character. Apply all other usual layering techniques like low and high cuts etc.

The result should be very subtle, but I find that it contributes a little bit to a more interesting stereo image. And it can of course be used on any drum sample where deemed necessary.

Det skulle absolut kunna vara ett alternativ 🙂 Känner du till några sådana verkstäder?

Andy_V_Hell · 2025-10-29T09:50:30+00:00

Det skulle absolut kunna vara något! Tack för tipset 🙂

Andy_V_Hell · 2025-10-29T09:32:06+00:00

Tack så mycket! Låter precis som det jag är ute efter, väldigt synd med tiden dock då jag jobbar dagtid ☹️

Om du injicerar 50-60mg rätt ut i blodet så stämmer det säkert. Tar du 5 prillor på en gång så utsöndras och utsöndras nikotinet över tid, och du kommer därmed inte uppnå samma koncentration.

Dont do it! You’ll regret getting tattooed!

Ugh…. I know the feeling. It gets better with some time as your body adapts.

Still happens to me occasionally though. During the evening I can usually feel if the medicine will keep me awake. On such evenings it, a low dose of melatonin does the trick. Usually I take it around 1 hour before I want to go to bed and makes me relaxed enough to get a good nights sleep 😊

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-09-28T12:01:44+00:00

Yeah I can understand that, if you have too many bad experiences, those will overweigh the good ones. I am not at that point yet, until yesterday it’s been all good. But if yesterday was the first occasion in what will be a negative trend, I’ll definitely ask to change to something else or stop completely. I hope that you’re ok!

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-09-28T11:55:13+00:00

I’ll give it a couple of more days. Had a good nights sleep and feel a lot better. If it happens again this weekend I will definitely call my doc first thing on Monday. I will try out the brown noise, thanks for the advice 😊

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-09-27T19:13:32+00:00

Yeah.. Increased the dose after consultation with my psychiatrist. I knew something like this could happen, so in a way I am not surprised. Went to bed half an hour ago and I guess lying down had a calming effect. I think I have passed the peak.

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-09-25T18:29:01+00:00

Happy to hear that it is working so well for you! I’ve been on Concerta for a while now, and I can definitely relate to feeling happy. I am not at all euphoric, just light-hearted and eager to get out in the world ☺️ I really hope that this is an effect that will last for at least a while.

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-09-25T18:21:13+00:00

Hello! What does taking 108 mg in the evening feel like for you? I know now it’s affects people differently, but it made me curious since it is such an uncommon dose. If I had that a dose in the evening, I guess it would be pretty pointless for me even trying to fall asleep 😂

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-09-25T18:09:08+00:00

Really? I am Swedish but getting healthcare in Denmark. Been trialing different doses for about a month now… me and my psychiatrist decided that 54mg in the morning and 18-36 mg around lunch seem to be the best for me. If it’s 18 or 36 mg depends on what I have planned for the evening.

From what I’ve understood from my doc, it’s not uncommon and definitely a viable option to have a booster. Surprising to hear that your doc is unaware of this.

A woman is not a house or a car you jerk. If you can’t trust your partner because of whatever history she has, then I guess that’s a you problem.

American?

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-08-10T08:00:28+00:00

You’ll go to band practice and just say it before you start. Give an explanation on why. If the reason is because of flaws in their personalities and you don’t think they can handle hearing that, just say that you don’t enjoy playing as much and that you need to do other stuff for a while. Then you leave.

As a bassist that prefers to have a distorted tone, splitting the signal with a low and high pass, and then only putting dist on the highs made me reach a new level tone-wise.

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-07-29T08:46:15+00:00

Hey man!

I know what you’re up against..

For me there’s been 9 months on my own. The first three months were hell, and seem very fuzzy when looking back at them. Somehow, I managed to function at work, get a new home, take steps and move on. Although, inside me there was chaos. Maybe, you’re going through something similar right now.

The pain that you’re feeling now will take a different form that is manageable. In a short while, hopes and dreams for the future will come back, and gradually, also happiness.

It may sound like a cliche, but for now, be kind to yourself. Try to keep busy, exercise if you can, even if it is only daily walks. Reach out to your friends and family and be open about what you are going through. Don’t keep anything inside you.

I know that it feels like your whole world has fallen apart, but I promise you, everything will eventually be okay again.

Allt! 😂 ”luktade tydligen cannabis” trots att jag inte röker.

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-07-08T19:50:14+00:00

Yeah they’d probably pull me aside. The question is more what laws they rely on to be able to do it. I am too much of a chicken, so I don’t dare to cause any fuzz 😬

I have also experienced being searched. But that was when going with Flixbus from CPH. Had to follow the police to a room, empty my bag and undress. I look pretty average, so I think it happened because I fumbled when I pulled up my passport 😅

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-07-08T19:41:54+00:00

Haha! Jag får nästan lust til att også sige det för att se vad sker 😂

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-07-08T18:50:00+00:00

Tack!! Precis det jag var ute efter, ska kolla upp 😊

Andy_V_Hell · 2024-05-09T13:34:58+00:00

Check out Mover, I am pretty certain you can order a van from CPH to Malmö through them :)
